(Ayla's POV)
*It had been a few days since our Silver Valley adventure. We were now in Chuck's room, eating breakfast when Chris came in wearing a blue backpack*
Chris: I've gotta go to school, so I'm counting on you guys to stay out of sight when my parents show up.
Tails: Gotcha, no problem.
Amy: Yeah, sure. You can count on us.
Ayla: You got it.
Cream: Ok.
Cheese: Chao-Chao.
Chris: It won't be for long, Mom and Dad's visits have to be short because they both have busy schedules. *my brother suddenly got up & left the room* Hey Sonic. Is he mad at me?
Amy: Don't mind him.
Chuck: Get going, Chris! You'll be late for School if you don't hurry up!
*Chris looked at the clock & ran for the stairs, only to trip on the first step & fall all the way to the bottom*
Ayla: Hey, Chris, you ok!?
Chris: Uh, I'm okay!
*We all sighed in relief*
Tails: Chris sure is happy about his folks visiting, huh Chuck?
Chuck: He is.
Amy: What do they do?
Chuck: Chris's Dad is president of a huge software company. He spends most of his time in the office or traveling on business.
Amy: And what about his Mom?
Chuck: She's a star. A famous actress who jets all around the world making movies.
Tails: I bet it's pretty tough for Chris not having his parents around most of the time.
Chuck: Yes.
Amy: He must miss them.
*I was starting to understand why Sonic left the room. We both lost our parents when we were young, so we were raised by our Dad's brother, Charles. But we both call him Uncle Chuck. Sonic has a few memories of them, but I don't remember them at all. Sometimes, I wonder what it's like to have parents. I also felt kinda bad for Chris. His parents are almost never around & he almost never saw them. Sounds really lonely*
*That afternoon, a white & yellow helicopter & two green helicopters landed in the backyard. A few men in black suits came out of the white one, followed by an adult human male with brown hair & wisteria eyes wearing a ivory business suit over a blue business shirt, & a dark blue tie & an adult human female with orange hair & blue eyes wearing gold earrings with pearls, a white pearl necklace, a red dress with dark red belt, gold & silver bracelets, & red heels. Mr. Tanaka & an adult human female with brown skin & hair & blue eyes wearing yellow earrings, a white apron with pink frills over a blue dress, & yellow slippers were waiting for them*
Mr. Tanaka & Ella: Welcome home.
Nelson & Lindsey: Thank you.
*Chuck then came outside*
Chuck: Lindsey, Nelson.
Nelson: Good to see ya, Dad.
Lindsey: Hello Father. How is everything going here at home?
Chuck: Wonderfully well now that the two of you are here.
Nelson: When does Chris get back from school?
*We were watching everything from the garage*
Tails: Chris's Dad seems like a nice guy.
Amy: His Mom is really pretty. Don't you think so, Sonic?
*Sonic ignored her. I just silently watched everything*
*A few hours had gone by & Chris still wasn't home from school. We were all starting to get worried, especially Chris' parents. Me, Amy, Tails, Cream, & Cheese all were watching them from the living room window. Sonic was standing on the roof*
Chuck: Hm, I wonder what's keeping Chris. He knows you two are here to see him.
Lindsey: What if there's been an accident?
Nelson: I'm sure my security people would find out and contact me.
Lindsey: You're right. He's probably playing with his friends and simply hasn't noticed the time.
*A few seconds later, Nelson got up from the couch*
Nelson: I'm going to look for the boy!
Lindsey: Nelson, have some faith in your son.
Nelson: Right. He's a level-headed boy and there's a good reason why he's late. WE HAVE TO STAY CALM!
Ayla:*in her mind* Do all parents worry about their kids this much?
Amy: I'm getting worried now too.
Tails: Hey Sonic!
Amy: Could you go look?
*We looked up to the roof, but he wasn't there*
Ayla: Guess he was way ahead of you. *I pulled my purple cube out of my pocket, turned it into my board, & hopped on* I'm gonna go after him.
Cream: Please bring Chris back safely, Ms. Ayla.
Cheese: Chao-Chao.
Ayla: Don't worry, you two. I will. *I revved up my board & soon I caught up with my brother* What did I tell you about leaving me out of the fun?
Sonic: "Just because your my little sister, doesn't mean you can't take care of yourself."
Ayla: Right.
Sonic: Anyway. You ready to rock, sis?
Ayla: Ready to roll, bro.
*We zoomed down the road, heading straight for Chris's school*
*Soon, we arrived at Chris's school. We saw Chris & his classmates sitting on the bleachers holding sketch books. Eggman was standing in front of them*
Intelligente: FOR TODAY'S ART CLASS, WE WILL SKETCH THE ILLUSTRIOUS FIGURE OF THE GREAT DR. EGGMAN. AS YOU DRAW, TAKE SPECIAL NOTE OF THE DOCTOR'S NOBLE VISAGE AND DIGNIFIED BEARING.
*Eggman started doing different poses. No matter which one he did, he just looked ridiculous*
Dr. Eggman: Does this pose inspire you? How about something more dynamic?
Chris: Uggh, it doesn't matter how Eggman stands, he'll always look terrible.
*Just then, Sonic & I zoomed past everyone, making the sketch books fly in the air*
Frances: Hey, what was that?
Intelligente: WHAT?
*We went up the flag pole & into the air*
Dr. Eggman: Perhaps a pose like a champion.
Intelligente: YOU MEAN A CHUMP! YOU'RE SO BUSY SHOWING OFF, YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!
*Sonic landed on the top of the flag pole & I hovered next to him*
Sonic: I always knew you were a poser, Eggman.
Ayla: If your an inspiration model, Eggman. Then I'm the Sugar Plum Fairy.
*That made Chris & his friends giggle*
Dr. Eggman: Intelligente!
Intelligente: YES, SIR!
Dr. Eggman: Get rid of Sonic and Ayla.
Danny and Frances: Who are Sonic and Ayla?
Intelligente: YES SIR! WHATEVER YOU SAY!
*His head opened up & missiles started firing at us. Sonic jumped down from the pole & I was hot his tail, but so were the missiles. Sonic dodged most of them & I sliced a few with my Ring Blades. Sonic then headed butted into the robot, distracting him long enough for me to slice him in half. With that, the robot exploded. We both walked out of the smoke*
Danny: Wow!
Frances: They're tough.
*Eggman came up to us*
Dr. Eggman: Here you two. Your prizes.
Sonic: What prizes?
Dr. Eggman: A little reward for your victory.
*He handed us two badges with his picture on them*
Sonic: I don't want a booby prize.
Ayla: If you think I'm gonna take that, you really do have Eggs in your head.
*Chris & his classmates giggled again*
Dr. Eggman: Fine. *he turned to Chris & his friends* You take it!
Chris: No thanks, keep it.
Frances: Yuck. Who'd want that?
Danny: Nasty.
Dr. Eggman: Alright, I'll wear it myself! Bye!
*He put the badges on himself, got in his Eggmobile, & flew way*
Frances: He's a weirdo.
Danny: Yeah.
Chris: He could keep me after school for a million years and I still wouldn't admire him.
Sonic: You better hurry home, Chris.
Ayla: Yeah. Your parents are getting worried.
Chris: Yeah, that's right!
*Chris took off & we went after him*
*Soon we arrived back at the Thorndyke Mansion*
Chris: Hey Mom and Dad, I'm home!
*Nelson & Lindsey immediately wrapped him in hugs*
Nelson: It's Chris!
Lindsey: Oh, I was so worried!
Nelson: I told your Mother you could look after yourself, but she wouldn't listen.
Chris: Sorry, I got . . . Held up at school.
*Later, they were all having dinner together*
Nelson: Of course, I knew there was absolutely nothing to worry about. You know, when I was your age, I was kept after school a few times myself.
Lindsey: Oh, I'm sure Chris is better behaved than you were, dear.
Chuck: That's for sure. Actually Chris, your Father was more worried about your absence than he lets on. Wasn't he, Tanaka?
Mr. Tanaka: Well, Mr. Thorndyke was concerned enough to phone the President.
Chris: Huh?
Ella: And Mrs. Thorndyke called all the TV networks to get the bulletin on the nightly news.
Lindsey: I didn't call all of them.
*Once again we were watching through the window*
Tails: The Thorndykes seem like a real nice family, don't they, Amy?
Amy: I'm glad Chris made it back home in time.
Tails: Uh huh. It always feels good to get back home.
*I looked up & saw Sonic on the roof, looking at the sky. I looked up at the sky too & started missing my own family*
Ayla:*in her mind* Mom, Dad. Can you see me? I really miss you.
